I'm not quite sure what you mean by a good client process, but I'll  
assume you mean an application that embeds GDAL within it.  If it were  
possible to programatically do something like depends.exe to walk  
everything, I guess that would be one way to do it.  Does anyone know  
of code out there that does something like this?  It'd be handy in a  
number of contexts...

Yes, if a plugin dll is not in the anointed directory, GDAL should not  
attempt to load it.
